What Happens When The FDA Issues A Medical Device Recall?

If you’ve been hurt by a defective medical device, one of the first
things you can do to look into legal action is whether the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA), who oversees medical devices, has issued any
warnings about your particular device.

When you meet with a
Connecticut Personal Injury Attorney at Carter Mario Injury Lawyers, we’ll review your medical history,
how long you’ve had the device, the types of pain you’re experiencing,
and other factors. When the FDA issues a recall, it is a formal way for
them to address a problem with a medical device that violates FDA regulations,
and is considered a risk to public health.

Just because a medical device is recalled doesn’t mean that people
should stop using the product. Recalls may be issued for a number of reasons.
Some of the most common causes of medical device recalls are…

Adjusting settings on the device

Destroying the device

Inspecting the device for problems

Monitoring patients for health issues

Notifying patients of a problem

Re-labeling the device

Repairing the device

If you were injured by a defective medical device, you may be owed compensation.

for your recovery.
